Tanzania Mid Range Safari

If you'd love a safari in Tanzania but don't want to sleep in a tent or pay for five-star luxury, a mid-range safari could be just right. It's the middle ground: great wildlife viewing with comfortable rooms, tasty meals and knowledgeable guides, on a well-paced itinerary that suits both your budget and your sense of adventure.

Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple or with your family, a mid-range safari gives you just enough comfort to relax after exciting (and sometimes dusty) game drives. Let's look at what a Tanzania mid-range safari involves, how much it costs, where to go and why it may be the best way for you to explore the wild side of Africa.

What Is a Mid-Range Safari?

On a budget safari you camp with shared facilities, and on a luxury safari you stay in high-end lodges with gourmet dining. A mid-range safari sits in between: comfort at a fair price in well-rated lodges or permanent tented camps.

Here's what's usually included:

• Accommodation in 3- or 4-star lodges or tented camps with en-suite bathrooms
• All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
• Private or group 4×4 safari vehicle with a pop-up roof
• Park entrance fees
• Professional safari guide/driver
• Transfers from airports or main towns like Arusha or Moshi

It's a good fit if you'd like a bit of pampering without the high price of top-end luxury.
